Doctrine and Teaching

In recent years, Mormon scholars have acknowledged a series of major changes in Joseph Smith's teaching on the nature of Deity - from the monotheism of the Book of Mormon, published in 1830, to the plurality of gods doctrine of Abraham chapters 4-5, published in 1842, two years before Joseph's death.
